Shop (and Drink) Till You Drop

Clotheshorse researchers have determined that people spend more money at the mall if they’re allowed a cocktail and a sick soundtrack for their shopping pleasure. Sure — give us a few vodka tonics and we’ll make out with the mannequin and slap up the store’s manager. That’s right, we’re gonna...

Clotheshorse researchers have determined that people spend more money at the mall if they’re allowed a cocktail and a sick soundtrack for their shopping pleasure. Sure — give us a few vodka tonics and we’ll make out with the mannequin and slap up the store’s manager. That’s right, we’re gonna get both fly and belligerent for Thursday’s opening of Shop Bar.
